Shortly before 8 p.m. Thursday, a vehicle was waiting for a stop light on E. Easterday at the Bingham Street intersection when it was struck from behind by a second. Both vehicles sustained minor damage and there were no injuries.

Around 10:45 a.m. Thursday, a vehicle visiting a fast-food drive-thru window was struck when a second vehicle backed into it. The tan-colored SUV fled the scene — escaping on Ashmun. The case remains under investigation and police have yet to identify the suspect in the hit and run incident.

A second hit and run was reported from the owner of a vehicle parked in the 500 block of Ashmun. The incident occurred sometime in the last couple of days and there are no known suspects.

At 7:35 p.m. Thursday, a vehicle attempted to access the I-75 Business Spur from the W. 19th Ave. intersection, crossing the path of an eastbound vehicle. The resulting collision left both vehicles with considerable damage and all of the involved parties unscathed.

Finally, around 8 p.m. a vehicle backed out of a private drive, striking a second parked on the opposite side of Swinton. There were no injuries and officers noted minor damage to both vehicles in concluding their report.

Fire

Sault Firefighters were called to the 1800 block of Kimball at 2:23 p.m. Thursday on reports of a fire in a ceiling fan.

A resident had snuffed the flames with a fire extinguisher prior to the arrival of emergency personnel. Firefighters removed the badly-damaged fan to ensure there were no additional hot spots inside the ceiling and assisted with blowing smoke from the structure before departing shortly before 3 p.m.

A repair team was assembled at the rental unit to assist in fixing the ceiling and replacing the fan.
